[b]A homophobic riposte could see Jeff Brazier exit the Dancing On Ice scene this week, says Eliot Pollak, while it seems that Sam Attwater is set for a smooth skate to DoI 'glory' . . .[/b]
Ah, sexism. Not an area we would ever stray into in this column. But during a week in which the word 'banter' has been subjected to an investigation so rigoruous, it makes water-boarding look like a quick shower, it may be worth chipping in with some D on I related interpretations.
Jeff Brazier will certainly be grateful to the Sky duo for hogging the headlines this week, following his dubious quip at gay judge Jason Gardiner regarding 'insemination'.
Due to double standards and general misplaced media hysteria however, it has entirely escaped everybody's attention. Brazier may however have...

Former Atomic Kitten and tabloid favourite has decided that slating the ex-Peter Andre is a wise move, and maybe it will be. Meanwhile other contestants are playing it safe by snogging their ice partners...
Having whittled down the line-up over the past two weeks, Dancing on Ice 2011 can now start for real. As can the betting. Sam Attwater seems to be the judges' favourite right now, and with Chloe Madeley and Laura Hamilton hot on his heels, this might well be the first time that he has ever been the most famous name in a sentence about celebrities.
Attwater is also very much the favourite with the Betfair market too - trading at a staggering 1.97. We love a bandwagon, so he can have our support too. As previously pointed out, SA has the right combination of male genitals and a ...

In 100 years time, when military historians sit and debate the reasons for the decline of the British army, no doubt many theories will be posited. The Suez farce undoubtedly marked the end of British 'superpower' status. Joining the EU has irreversibly diluted our ability to independently defend this sceptred isle. But above all, those velvet jacketed historians will point to January 2011, and the television appearance of Johnson Beharry VC in sequins. Be the best indeed.
Yes kids, it's so back it hurts. If you like dancing, and you like ice, well you're in for a treat over the next few months. Dancing on Ice returns this weekend, bringing with it celebrities, skating, and above all, Holly Willoughby on prime time television (typically only available to the lucky old unemployed.)

The Dancing On Ice 2011 line-up is out and we can start building our betting portfolio long before the stars don their skates for the first time on January 9.
But how can we tell our Ray Quinn's from our Todd Carty's before they've even skated? Well, we can't quite do that, but there are several [b]key trends[/b] that can point us in the right direction, even at this early stage.
The first thing to note is that [b]gender is irrelevant[/b]. In five previous series we have had two male and three female winners, which tells us that there is no gender bias on the ice (as opposed to, say, I'm A Celebrity, where the winner is normally a man).
Secondly, [b]age is crucial[/b]. It makes sense that the winning skater would be relatively young - it's a physically demanding show, after all...
